If you, like us, watched BoyBand on the ABC Network then you may just recognize the name Andrew Butcher. Andrew took part in the show to try to become a member of a new boy band (In Real Life).
Although he didn't make it into the band, that hasn't stopped Andrew recording YouTube videos of his performances as well as keeping up his presence on social media and growing his fan base.
The Tennessee born rising star has now released his debut solo single 'You Were There' and is now ready to show the world what he has to offer.
'You Were There' is now available on iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify.
He was a member of the international boy band The United where he performed around the world and even entered the Top 10 in the Japanese charts. Ever since The United went their own way, Teuz has been working hard on his music and the last couple of weeks have been very busy for him.
The Netherlands have a new star with Teuz and he was recently on TV auditioning on The Voice of Holland where he performed Shawn Mendes's song 'Stitches'. Although the coaches didn't turn for him, the media went crazy and radio stations and media were all talking about him.
To keep all the excitement going, Teuz has now released his debut solo single 'Press Start' and this is a fantastic Pop/Dance track that will get you dancing as well as being played by DJs at all club events.
We think this is just the beginning for Teuz and 2018 is going to be a great year for the young singer.
Press Start is now available on Apple Music, Spotify and iTunes!
No other group has brought the party to The X Factor since Reggie n Bollie. Although they have parted ways with Syco Music, that hasn't stopped their great music being released and their new single is one that will get you on the floor and winding that body.
Their new single 'On The Floor' brings that party feeling and they have given the fans a little extra by teaming up with the King of Reggae Dancehall, Beenie Man.
All we need now is them to release an album and do a world tour and our lives will be complete.
You can buy 'On the Floor' now on iTunes and stream it on Spotify.
When you think about vocal techniques, the first person to come into mind is the incredible Jessie J. She is currently on tour and just finished her European leg before jetting over the pond to perform in the US and Candada.
Fans can expect to hear some of her new songs as well as fan favourites. This year Jessie has released non album track 'Real Deal' which was a surprise change to what fans are used to.
Following on from 'Real Deal', the first official track released from Jessie's upcoming 4th studio album was 'Think About That'.
After 'Think About That', Jessie announced the release of 'Not My Ex' which is the 2nd track from her upcoming album 'R.O.S.E' and has been rated highly by many of her music industry colleagues.
After the success of One Direction, the US is now ready to re-claim the best boy band title. In the past, the US has hit the ball out the park when it comes to boy band world domination with names such as New Kids On The Block, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. However when One Direction came along, there were basically no other boy bands worth talking about until the guys decided to focus on their solo projects.
Now there are two bands from the US who are ready to take the boy band thrown.
In Real Life
The US network ABC decided to bring three well known music industry professionals together to search for five members to form a new boy band. Music producer Timbaland, Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) were chosen for this task and over ten weeks gave support and feedback to all the boys until the final five were chosen (Brady Tutton 15, Chance Perez 19, Drew Ramos 19, Sergio Calderon 17 and Michael Conor 18).
The group are called In Real Life and their first single 'Eyes Closed' has nearly 2 million streams on Spotify. They are currently performing around the US and growing their fan base but we feel the guys have what it takes to go international.
They have already mentioned a new single and video coming soon as well as plans for a Christmas song.
PRETTYMUCH
PRETTYMUCH are Brandon Arreaga 17, Edwin Honoret 18, Zion Kuwonu 18, Nick Mara 19 and Austin Porter 20. The guys were all solo singers until Simon Cowell put them together in a group and signed them to his label Syco Music. With the same manager and label as One Direction, many people weren't sure whether they would be able to handle the pressure but as soon as they released their first single 'Would You Mind', it was clear that these guys mean business.
The single has already had nearly 8 million streams on Spotify.
Their new single 'Teacher' has nearly 2 million streams on Spotify.
The only question now is which group will be the first to have international success and will they experience the same success as One Direction?
As a founding member of boy band (now man band) A1, he travelled around the world and enjoyed spending lots of time in many music charts.
Now Ben Adams is back with a new solo track 'OMG' and this will be a huge hit both in the clubs and to get you ready for a night out.
Ben is know for his stunning vocals and youthful looks and this song is just perfect for the industry right now.
A solo album will be out soon but till then, make sure you get your copy of 'OMG' and see if you can listen to it without bopping your heads!
